  1. Thanks htm01 that was what I was looking for.
  2. In version 9 there was an option to create-point-along entity,then it would ask how many points. Where is this option in X2 ?
  3. Has anyone took the Advanced Mill Design and Toolpaths course on Mastercam U? If so did you learn any useful info that you did'nt already know?
  4. Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for!
  5. Everytime I use the surface rough or finish toolpath the tool always cuts above the part on the first series of cuts. Is there anyway around this? (X2)
  6. Thanks Josh T, that's what I was looking for!
  7. My geometry in gview top actually needs to be the same view but gview front. How do I go about changing this?
  8. You should look for some tutorials online or consider buying some of the books they sell here covering Mill level 1 all the way to the 5 axis stuff, they are really a good investment if you are serious about learning and they will get you machining in no time.
  9. I used EZ-Cam about 5yrs. ago, it was good for starting out. The 2-D is ok with limited options to customize your toolpaths, the 3-D was horrible.(IMHO)Mastercam has far more options and tremendous amounts of people and places to get help from,so the learning curve was very little.Just my two cents!
  10. Please turn caps lock off!!!
  11. Run fadals everyday,this should work for you. N1 O1234 ( TAP ) N2 ( CREATED ON 08-01-08 AT 4:35 PM ) N3G20 N4G0G17G40G80G90 N5 ( 3/8-16 TAPRH TOOL - 1 DIA.

  12. I am drilling a 3/32 hole .700 deep into a hole in d-2. The last 3 drills have broke off in the part,and I sure don't want to have to drill on the old manual mill. Any ideas on speeds and feeds,and peck? I am running 850 rpm feed of 1 inch per minute and a .020 peck.
  13. Also you can create-curve-project-(select surface),then select curves.This will project your text then you can make a toolpath from this.
  14. Toolpaths-project(select what you want to project and where to project)
  15. An NCI file (*.NCI) contains all of the parameter information necessary to create a toolpath. It represents toolpath information in a generic or intermediate format. Sometimes referred to as the toolpath, this intermediate file simplifies post processing of MC toolpath operations into the various NC formats required by milling machine and controls. An NCI file cannot be used to directly control a machine.
  16. Sometimes machines with only G54-G59 can also use G54.2-G54.9 all the way thru G59.2 etc.
